| - The Proper Pig doesn't need to have a warehouse location with seating for 400 people. It doesn't need to be an echo chamber or a converted barn. The physical location it's currently in is perfect for it's shop.
I was having a bad day. I was down in the dumps, low on energy, and in need of an overall attitude adjustment. I drove an hour north to get a Cleveland fix. I'm sure there are studies, (if not, we can start one), but 10 out of 10 pseudoscientists agree that BBQ probably is the best food to fix the blues. So, knowing this in my head, I set out for Proper Pig.
Instead of being behind a desk for 8 hours, filing some report, I found myself eating a giant brisket sandwich, drinking a fine, fine beer, and taking spoonfuls of stadium mustard potato salad. And, the Tribe game was on the TV's too. It was pretty close to a perfect day.
The brisket has a great smoke ring and is buttery smooth in texture. The BBQ sauce had a richness paired with a little spicy zing. The two worked in perfect harmony to deliver a healthy shot of "cheer up juice" to me.
I'm looking forward to adding a 5th star after trying a few more things on the menu. I've toyed with the idea of getting some catering so I can have the full array of their BBQ goodness. Maybe when the summer rolls around...
